(Samuel Sandford was a member of the house of Burgesses for Accomac in March, 1692-3. Meade (Old Churches and Families of Virginia, 1, 264,265) states that the school founded by Samuel Sandfour in Accomac was in existance in 1857. He states that the will was recorded in Accomac and gives an extract. The total amount of the land left to the school was 3,420 acres, and the testator asked the Governor and Council of Virginia to see that his purposes in regard to the school were carried out. John Sandford, the brother, was a considerable land owner in (Old) Norfork-Princess Anne county and was J.P. at the formation of the latter county in 1691. Administration on his estate was granted March 1, 1692-3, to his widow Sarah. See this magazine, XI, 144.)

(A John Sandford, who was born about 1649, patented several tracts of land, amounting in all to 3,297 acres, between 1675 and 1688. He was a justice of the first court of Princess Anne County in 1691. On March 1, 1692-3, administration on his estate was granted to his widow Sarah. He was a merchant, and in 1673 had given a power of attorney to his brother Samuel Sanford, merchant. Dorothy Tucker, of Exeter, England, widow, by her will dated May 13, 1693, and proved in the Archdeaconry Court of Exeter, June 30, of the same year, left certain houses to her brother John Sandford, of Virginia. On February 6, 1694-5, Mrs. Sarah Sandford, above mentioned, through her attorney, her brother Henry Woodhouse, confirmed deed of gift to her sons Cowson and Henry and daughter Sarah. See William and Mary Quarterly IV, 15-17, of course there is no positive proof that this John Sandford is identical with the person of the same name whose administation is given above.)

From the Virginia Genealogist by John Frederick Dorman, p. 208-210.
Explores the genealogies of the Woodhouse: "Sarah Woodhouse Moore Sandford Clowes, mother of Susannah Sandford Thorowgood, was the daughter of Henry Woodhouse whose will, dated 29 Jan 1686 and proved 21 Feb 1686/7, leaves to his daughter, Sarah, wife of Caton Moore, money due him from Thomas Mumford. The will of Cason Moore, dated 24 Jan 1686/7 and proved 17 March 1686/7 mentions his three children Cason, Henry and Sarah Moore, his brother William Moore and his brother-in-law Henry Woodhouse.

JOHN SANFORD, THE SECOND HUSBAND OF SARAH (WOODHOUSE) MOORE, WAS A MERCHANT AND IN 1673 WAS GIVEN A POWER OF ATTORNEY BY HIS BROTHER SAMUEL SANDFORD, ALSO A MERCHANT. BORN ABOUT 1649, JOHN SANDFORD HAD PATENTED SEVERAL TRACTS OF LAND AMOUNTING TO 3297 ACRES BETWEEN 1675 AND 1688. HE WAS ALSO A JUSTICE OF THE PEACE OF THE FIRST COURT OF PRINCESS ANNE COUNTY IN 1691. SAMUEL SANDORD, SOMETIMES OF ACCOMACK COUNTY IN VIRGINIA, "NOW OF THE CITY OF LONDON, MADE HIS WILL 27 MAR 1710, PROVED 20 APRIL 1710, AND LEFT 500 POUNDS TO SUSANNAH SANDFORD, MY NIECE AND DAUGHTER OF MY BROTHER, JOHN SANDFORD, SOMETIMES OF PRICESS ANNE COUNTY IN VIRGINIA, AND
500 POUNDS TO HIS DAUGHTER MARY SANDFORD.

SARAH SANDFORD WAS GRANTED ADMINISTRATION ON THE ESTATE OF JOHN SANDFORD 1 MAR 1692/3. ON 6 FEB. 1694/5 MRS. SARAH SANDFORD, THROUGH HER ATTORNEY, HER BROTHER MR. HENRY WOODHOUSE, ACKNOWLEDGED A DEED OF GIFT TO HER SONS CAWSON (CASON) AND HENRY AND HER DAUGHTER, SARAH MOORE."
